As for the rest of the cast, I honestly forgot that Kirsten Dunst, Mark Ruffalo and Elijah Wood were in this movie, but was nevertheless impressed with their emotional character building. Jim Carrey, too, gave such a soulfully-understated performance that he made sad Joel one to root for, and made the whole premise totally believable. Her eyes, especially, are so expressive, making those odd running scenes one of the most interesting. Kate Winslet, in particular, with her salon-worthy coloured hair - which, itself, played a huge part in character building - was amazing, giving us the coolness of a manic pixie dream girl while breaking that stereotype with her perfectly flawed portrayal of Clementine. The cast, itself, is what makes Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind so good, because this is the film that made me actually love Kate Winslet and Jim Carrey. Over the course of two days, we see a bunch of flashbacks that show how their tumultuous previous relationship ended when they each had the other person removed from their memories. A man, Joel (played by Jim Carrey), meets a woman named Clementine (Kate Winslet). An indication of how confusing the film is? Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is categorised as “Drama, Romance, (and) Sci-Fi” in IMDb. It’s odd, considering that the plot itself sounds ridiculous when you try to explain it. (yes, I watched it through before writing this.) What Does This Plot Even Mean?!

And through the years, catching bits and pieces on television, the one emotion that stays with me is just an overwhelming fondness for the movie. I watched it years ago when I was younger, but couldn’t remember the whole plot, only how it made me feel.

Because this film is an oldie but a goodie, well-deserving of its status as one of the “ Greatest Movies Of All Time.”Īdmit it: there’s no way you weren’t singing “Oh My Darling, Clementine” for an hour after watching Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
